Last week wa a famous one for marriage In Salt Lsko City. Sixty-five polygamous marriages were solemnized on Thursday, and as many more 00 Friday and Saturday. The people gathered in the Endow ment House and the weddings were reeled off at the rate of one every four minute. Tub board of trade and business men of La Crosse, Wisconsin, enjoyed a steamboat excursion from that city t l Crescent, Minnesota, on Christ imas day. Another steam boat excursion was made from St. Paul to Minnehaha Falls 00 the aame day. This la the . first time within the present generation that the Upper Mississippi has been open to navigation in Dfcera ber.

The total Imports lido Great Britala In the first nine months of the present year h ve fallen off eight per eeBVaQd the ex porta four per cant. . ; . MTKA3I BOAT AMD BABUI TKADE. , The table published at 8t. Louis regarding the commerce of the Mis sour! and Mississippi rivers, are instructive. The returns show a decrease In tbe tonnage of 1877 or 2.362 tons under that of 1876, but it is 13, 854 tons greater than that of 18GC, and 22,8-7 greater than in 18G9. The tonnage of steamers enrolled permanently In 1808 was 00.683; that of 1877,67,670. Barge toonage permanently enrolled Jn 186C waa . 13.962, and number 70. In 1877 176 bargos of 02,004 tons were permanently enrolled, a significant Increase. As there will be a greatly increased demand for grain barges in 1878, the disparity between these and steam boat enrollment will be In larger proportion than ever. As regards barges, suitable for the Missouri, it is silted by the Kansas City Journal that ''the? ?aaij built for $15,000 to $25,000, and carry from 15,000 to 35,000 bushels of grain each. The hulls are strong and built witti bulk-heads, of light draft. The ex pense of operating Is said to be $75 to 100 per day. The speed la not given, but ten miles an hour down stream ought to be made without difficulty, as an average, and half that up river. This would give three days to St. Louis down stream, and four day back. We count six teen hours running time per day down the river and all hours op in all seven days, or at outside figures for expense $700 at inside figures $523. ' Now a loud of grain of 15,000 bushels at 5 cents would aggregate $750, at 10 cents, $1,600. A load of 30,000 bushels would be $1,500 and $3,000. In this no account is taken of back loads. The figures are im portant to our gram dealers and freighters generally, aud they can make more practical use of them than we chii. 1 he barge question is varied in form the steamer to tow, with model barges for cargo, is the one most familiar, but we have found the steam barge spoken of on other rivers, and have given the facts as we nud them for the benefit or those who have to use the Missouri."

Both these volumes contain a vast amount of most valuable information and embrace a collection of agricul tural and mineral knowledge con cerning that State which make them of more than ordinary interest to the student In agriculture and minorato gy elsewhere than Tennessee These works are neat, compact ana excel lently printed, the former by "The American" l'rinttng company or Nashville, and the latter from the print of Tavel, Esstman & Howell, Slate Printers, Nashville. Doctor Ilewett is entitled to our warmest thanks for these valuable books. The Chlllicothe Tribune has tho following in regardto a gentleman greatly esteemed and well-known in these parts: "A number of the friends of W. J.

In making Its seventh annual an-nouncemenC" the Inter-Ocean re- assMirea its readers and the public renerally of Its faith in the Republi can party and Its devotion to Repub lican principles, its record during the pt year has made It more than ever before the great representative iiepuDiican paper or .the country. The value of such a paper and its influence for good m-ere never more apparent than during the electoral complies! hins of last (all and winter. The course of the Inter fcean during that trying period won for it the ad miration and lasting friendship of itepuoiicans everywnere. as an exponent of true Republicanism, to which the public turned for advice and for encouragement, theInter-(X-ean stood throughout the momentous struggle without a peer. There never was a time when Republicans more needed a Journal pteadfa.t and true than now. Never before. In the history of the country, has there been a period of such political Interest and Inquiry as is now in the immediate future. (J rent ques tions are to bedi.-KUissed and dWpoeed of: embarrassing complications are to be grappled with i fundamental principles are to be defended. Republican to the core, the Inter-Ocean will give all possible Information on all political topics, and, while treat-ing opponents with the greatest fairness, will maintain its high standing as an earnest and outspoken advocate of uncompromising and unadulterated Republicanism. While the Inter Ocean stands second to no paper in the country as a political journal, it takes high rank as an enterprising and thoroughgoing newspaper. During the past year it has eclipsed all Western papers In the excellence, completeness, nnd reliability of its foreign dispatches nnd letters, and has had few equals In presenting In most readable shape general and home news. In every part of the world great events are occurring, with probabilities pointing to more Important in the future. Never before was a good newspaper so Important to both young and old. In all that goes to make a first-class newspaper, the Inter-Ocean Is not excelled by any publication In the country. It is a national newsparer, one that will be found useful and Interesting to Americans in every part of the globe. While it specially represents the great interests of the Northwest, it is national in its views and comprehensive In its news gathering.The Inter Ocean makes especial claim as a family paper, devoting more attention than any Hliticat newspaper to departments prepared and conducted with the wants of tho home and the demands of the family in view. The Commercial Department Is conducted with great care, and every- tliing possible is done to make the market reports reliable and complete. ihe Agricultural Department is carefully edited by n gentleman of ability and experience. Ihe Home Department is of special n teres t to the ladies, and Is devoted to the practical and useful. In Lducational Matters especial attention Is given.

It Is expected that the Illustration of this series will be of a refined ami typical character, romruenauratti with tho subject matter. ' It' Is thought that no paper or aerlea of papera yet issued in fk-ribnet will fully reallzo the constant desire of the magazine to keep out of the nils, and, both in text and illostratloha, lit obtain quality rather than quantity, and to print fresh, strong and delicate work from original source.

Last week wa a famous one for marriage In Salt Lsko City. Sixty-five polygamous marriages were solemnized on Thursday, and as many more 00 Friday and Saturday.

Tub board of trade and business men of La Crosse, Wisconsin, enjoyed a steamboat excursion from that city t l Crescent, Minnesota, on Christ imas day. Another steam boat excursion was made from St. Paul to Minnehaha Falls 00 the aame day.

MTKA3I BOAT AMD BABUI TKADE. , The table published at 8t. Louis regarding the commerce of the Mis sour! and Mississippi rivers, are instructive. The returns show a decrease In tbe tonnage of 1877 or 2.362 tons under that of 1876, but it is 13, 854 tons greater than that of 18GC, and 22,8-7 greater than in 18G9. The tonnage of steamers enrolled permanently In 1808 was 00.683; that of 1877,67,670. Barge toonage permanently enrolled Jn 186C waa . 13.962, and number 70. In 1877 176 bargos of 02,004 tons were permanently enrolled, a significant Increase. As there will be a greatly increased demand for grain barges in 1878, the disparity between these and steam boat enrollment will be In larger proportion than ever. As regards barges, suitable for the Missouri, it is silted by the Kansas City Journal that ''the? ?aaij built for $15,000 to $25,000, and carry from 15,000 to 35,000 bushels of grain each. The hulls are strong and built witti bulk-heads, of light draft. The ex pense of operating Is said to be $75 to 100 per day. The speed la not given, but ten miles an hour down stream ought to be made without difficulty, as an average, and half that up river. This would give three days to St. Louis down stream, and four day back. We count six teen hours running time per day down the river and all hours op in all seven days, or at outside figures for expense $700 at inside figures $523. ' Now a loud of grain of 15,000 bushels at 5 cents would aggregate $750, at 10 cents, $1,600. A load of 30,000 bushels would be $1,500 and $3,000. In this no account is taken of back loads. The figures are im portant to our gram dealers and freighters generally, aud they can make more practical use of them than we chii. 1 he barge question is varied in form the steamer to tow, with model barges for cargo, is the one most familiar, but we have found the steam barge spoken of on other rivers, and have given the facts as we nud them for the benefit or those who have to use the Missouri."

In making Its seventh annual an-nouncemenC" the Inter-Ocean re- assMirea its readers and the public renerally of Its faith in the Republi can party and Its devotion to Repub lican principles, its record during the pt year has made It more than ever before the great representative iiepuDiican paper or .the country. The value of such a paper and its influence for good m-ere never more apparent than during the electoral complies! hins of last (all and winter. The course of the Inter fcean during that trying period won for it the ad miration and lasting friendship of itepuoiicans everywnere. as an exponent of true Republicanism, to which the public turned for advice and for encouragement, theInter-(X-ean stood throughout the momentous struggle without a peer. There never was a time when Republicans more needed a Journal pteadfa.t and true than now. Never before. In the history of the country, has there been a period of such political Interest and Inquiry as is now in the immediate future. (J rent ques tions are to bedi.-KUissed and dWpoeed of: embarrassing complications are to be grappled with i fundamental principles are to be defended. Republican to the core, the Inter-Ocean will give all possible Information on all political topics, and, while treat-ing opponents with the greatest fairness, will maintain its high standing as an earnest and outspoken advocate of uncompromising and unadulterated Republicanism. While the Inter Ocean stands second to no paper in the country as a political journal, it takes high rank as an enterprising and thoroughgoing newspaper. During the past year it has eclipsed all Western papers In the excellence, completeness, nnd reliability of its foreign dispatches nnd letters, and has had few equals In presenting In most readable shape general and home news. In every part of the world great events are occurring, with probabilities pointing to more Important in the future. Never before was a good newspaper so Important to both young and old. In all that goes to make a first-class newspaper, the Inter-Ocean Is not excelled by any publication In the country. It is a national newsparer, one that will be found useful and Interesting to Americans in every part of the globe. While it specially represents the great interests of the Northwest, it is national in its views and comprehensive In its news gathering.The Inter Ocean makes especial claim as a family paper, devoting more attention than any Hliticat newspaper to departments prepared and conducted with the wants of tho home and the demands of the family in view. The Commercial Department Is conducted with great care, and every- tliing possible is done to make the market reports reliable and complete. ihe Agricultural Department is carefully edited by n gentleman of ability and experience. Ihe Home Department is of special n teres t to the ladies, and Is devoted to the practical and useful. In Lducational Matters especial attention Is given. Believing that the perpetuity of the republic de pends upon the education of the people, the Inter-Oeean Is the warm advocate of the free school system, and everything that will improve and extend it. The Woman's Kingdom Is a new department devoted to the Interest of that large portion of the gentle sex who, either from necessity or otherwise, desire to devote themselves to some uselul occupation or profession, for the purpose of earning a livelihood. It is not for the advocacy of any particular Issue, but for the general improvement nnd elevation of the fmale character In every department of life. The Question and Answer Department, long a pecial feature of the Inter-Ocean, is a valuable encyclopedia of information, and covers as rau' h ground in the course of a year as miny of the elaborate works published at such high prices. The Inter-Ocean has the largest aggregate circulation of any newspaper published in the Northwest. It is sent to more than 8..0 ostomces, distributed in every Htate and Territory In the United States, in all the numerous foreign States and countries. TERMS 6F seiSCIirTISi : - lAILl.

It Is expected that the Illustration of this series will be of a refined ami typical character, romruenauratti with tho subject matter. ' It' Is thought that no paper or aerlea of papera yet issued in fk-ribnet will fully reallzo the constant desire of the magazine to keep out of the nils, and, both in text and illostratloha, lit obtain quality rather than quantity, and to print fresh, strong and delicate work from original source.
